I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression and adaptation to life challenges and losses. My focus is on creating a warm, non-judgemental and safe environment where you can unpack your painful experiences and examine emotions, thoughts and behaviours that might contribute to your suffering and isolation. My goal in psychotherapy is to help you to find balance and wholeness by accepting and incorporating all authentic parts of yourself, including shadows. A painful experience is an opportunity to wake up from familiar negative patterns and change them once and for all.

While I work with issues of depression, anxiety and dysfunctional couple dynamics, I specialize in issues with sexuality, sexual dysfunction, infidelity, infertility and sexual abuse. I offer respectful, judgment free and compassionate care to clients to deal with troubling behaviors and to release and heal feelings of shame/guilt etc related to sexual function, identity and partner sexual intimacy. I work extensively with both individuals and couples in the areas of high/low sexual desire, arousal/orgasm disorders and Erectile Dysfunction, among others. My practice is LGBTQ+Kink and Consenual non-monogamy supportive.

Is there an aspect of your life that overwhelms you and leaves you feeling like you need help? Living life authentically often leads us to encounter these types of challenges. Sometimes we can trace the origin of our distress back to a particular event or experience such as a relationship or job dissatisfaction. Other times, the origins are more hidden and leave us scared and confused. This distress can take many forms, typically depression and anxiety. Talking openly in the safety and confidentiality of a therapeutic relationship can bring some relief.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* "The only way to find out where I was was to get out of the way and let myself happen." (Mark Epstein). In my practice, I help folks identify and understand the negative and self-limiting stories that they tell themselves. Often, these stories, or negative thought loops, keep people from living the lives that they desire due to the feelings of anxiety or sense of being ‘stuck’ that they produce. I advise folks in emotion regulation skills and techniques that can help them manage their emotions and navigate their situations, which can lead to more calm and grounded experiences.

*UNABLE TO TAKE NEW CLIENTS AT THE MOMENT* Life can be filled with beautiful experiences, fulfilling relationships and moments of relaxation. Life can also be challenging: some difficulties are quick to arise and be resolved, others can persist for quite some time.

Other times, a specific issue cannot be resolved as you wish and professional help can be useful. People know me as a genuine person with a good sense of humour. I offer services both in French and English.

On the outside life seems good, and you keep telling yourself that you should be happy, but you just don’t feel like yourself.

I believe that every person is equipped to make positive changes in his or her life to face challenges. Sometimes, the challenges that one may face can be so painful that it blinds the person from seeing potential solutions.

And together we will work to determine what should be done, to improve your situation. I believe that we are all different, and that we deal with problems differently. I am flexible in the approach I use, to suit what is best for you.
